As part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program, Gran Pacifica Resort S.A. will build the Roberto Clemente Clinic III. This construction has a cost of more than US $80,000, and will provide free health services to the more than 2,000 residents of the communities of California, San Bartolo and San Diego, belonging to the municipality of Villa el Carmen, Nicaragua.

Michael Cobb, president of Gran Pacifica Resort, said the land where the clinic will be built has an area of over 6,500 sq.ft., and was donated by Gran Pacifica. The clinic will have a construction area of 1,500 sq.ft., and will consist of an emergency room, maternity services, waiting room, pharmacy, and dentist's office.

Mr. Cobb said, "Through our CSR program, Gran Pacifica Resort has decided to realize together with other partners the building of the community health clinic, which will be administered privately by specialized organizations.”

The clinic will address specific health needs such as prenatal care, treatment of kidney disease, respiratory problems, and fractures, among other ailments. For this purpose, Gran Pacifica Resort has teamed up with the Rotary Club of Pittsburgh, Rotary Club Tiscapa-Managua, Help Them Help Themselves (NGO), the local community, and the Municipality of Villa El Carmen.

Meanwhile, Denis Espinoza, mayor of Villa el Carmen, thanked representatives of Gran Pacifica Resort for donating the 6,500 sq.ft. of land that will house the clinic, which will ensure quality health care to the residents of the communities near the resort.
